Regarding Xu Chuanti's resource exchange, Gao Hongming nodded and said nothing.
Although this is domestic and they are all working towards the realization of controllable nuclear fusion, different projects have different resources and things.
Not everyone is willing to contribute their own technology or key equipment.
Just like between countries, although the ITER International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project is launched, which is said to be resource and technology sharing cooperation, it is impossible for the countries participating in this project, whether it is the United States, Europe, or China, to
Expose the country’s true core and leading technologies.
With the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting material as the base, the probability of being able to exchange for the right to use the 'EAST' magnetic confinement fusion tokamak device will be greater.
...
Skipping the plasma turbulence mathematical model test, Xu Chuan opened another document in his hand.
Compared with controllable nuclear fusion projects, there are many domestic laboratories, companies or institutions that research superconducting materials.
However, there are not many manufacturers that qualify for this list.
Western Superconducting Materials Technology Co., Ltd., BJ Inna Superconducting Technology Co., Ltd., Qingdao Han Cable Co., Ltd.......
One company after another passed through Xu Chuan's eyes. When it came to finding one or two manufacturers that produced high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, he still needed to grasp some key points.
Although he has been checked once by the above, the companies that can be included in this list must have no problem in terms of qualifications and backgrounds, but the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials involve things that are so critical that he must be on it.
Be extra cautious.
For example, the controllable nuclear fusion project currently underway, the large-scale strong particle collision project that has not yet started, or the superconducting coil particle acceleration field that is intended to be applied above, etc...
Including some other fields, such as medium and large-scale nuclear magnetic resonance equipment in the medical field, permanent magnet medical devices, etc.
One of the core key points of these projects is superconducting materials.
Only when superconducting materials can produce stable and high-quality output can the stable development of these projects be achieved.
In fact, at present, more than 90% of the medium and large-scale nuclear magnetic resonance equipment and permanent magnet medical devices in the domestic medical field are imported.
According to statistics, in China, the average number of nuclear magnetic resonance machines per million people is only 3.5, while the United States, Sakura Country and other countries have reached 35.4 and 49.5 respectively.
This means that if you want to have an MRI examination, you may have to wait in line for a long time and pay a high fee, usually ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan. This is a big deal for ordinary people.
burden.
The key to these devices lies in the core superconducting coil material that can provide a strong magnetic field.
Although domestic development in the field of superconductivity is quite rapid, it started late after all.
Coupled with the technological blockade, ban on exports, and refusal of communication by Western countries, the field of coil superconducting is still lagging far behind.
This time, the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material is an opportunity to break the complete dependence on imports.
...
After flipping through the information in his hand, Xu Chuan picked out three manufacturers, marked them with a pen, and handed them to Gao Hongming again.
"Currently, these three companies are okay and all have production qualifications. However, the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials is critical and involves subsequent controllable nuclear fusion and other engineering aspects, so specific arrangements need to be made.
"
"Okay, Gao Ting, please contact these three companies. I would like to meet with them in a few days."
Although the state has helped him select qualified companies, the cooperative production of high-temperature superconducting materials not only involves projects such as controllable nuclear fusion, but also involves the issue of profit distribution.
The previous patent authorization situation for artificial SEI films does not apply to this time. Last time it was similar to a one-time buyout, but this time the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material needs to be reconsidered.
...
After handling the testing of plasma turbulence mathematical models and the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, Xu Chuan did not return to the laboratory.
He still has to host another press conference on high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials.
Although papers and patents will not be applied for this time, the press conference will still be held.
After all, he previously developed high-temperature superconducting materials with the purpose of making money, and making domestic money is meaningless. If you want to make money, make foreign money.
High-temperature superconducting materials can be used in many fields, such as large strong particle collider, medical equipment, maglev trains, etc.
Although these fields can only be supported by developed countries, every time they are negotiated, it is a super big deal, worth billions or even tens of billions.
For example, at CERN, according to historical trends, the LHC was upgraded again in 2019. This time, high-temperature superconducting materials from Sakura Country will be purchased to further enhance the energy level of the collider.
However, due to the discovery of sterile neutrinos and dark matter, this upgrade plan was temporarily suspended. Traces of dark matter are still being explored there.
But I guess they have almost given up. After all, they have been searching for more than half a year and found nothing. Dark matter is indeed very attractive, but countries cannot afford to throw money into a bottomless pit like this.
The startup of the Large Strong Particle Collider consumes an astronomical amount of money every time. It is estimated that they are already considering stopping exploration and restarting the upgrade plan.
And Xu Chuan wants to intercept the order for high-temperature superconducting materials from Sakura Country in the historical direction before that happens.
As long as the press conference on high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials is made public, he is confident that it can be done.
Not only because the high-temperature superconducting material in his hands has better performance, but also because his connections there are stronger than those in Sakura Country.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he is just a person and the other party is a country, but in terms of importance, over there, the entire Sakura Country team may not have him.
People are important.
Methods of mathematically calculating physical particles, the discovery of sterile neutrinos, traces of dark matter and dark energy, methods of observing and calculating distant celestial bodies in astronomy, etc., each of these things is longed for.
For Xu Chuan, grabbing an order from Sakura Country is not called grabbing at all!
This is called helping to upgrade and build a more powerful particle collider!
Understand?
As for the opinions of small island countries, what does it have to do with him?
I can't use better materials and use your more rubbish ones, right?
...
With the preparation of the Chuanhai Institute of Materials, the press conference on high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials began.
Because of the expansion of the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute, NTU did not borrow the auditorium as the venue for this report.
However, the lecture hall of the institute is undoubtedly much smaller than the auditorium of NTU.
This also caused those manufacturers and media reporters who received invitations and those who received the news to come spontaneously, almost filling the hotel's lecture hall.
A row of cameras were placed under the reporting table, just waiting for the report meeting to begin.
In the venue, before the report meeting had begun, some manufacturers who had received the news were discussing among themselves in whispers.
In the front row, Nexans representative Kelvin Noah was looking quietly at the empty reporting table, while another middle-aged man walking towards him had a surprised expression on his face after seeing him.
.
"I didn't expect you to come too. Is Nexen also optimistic about Professor Xu's research?"
Hearing the sound, Kelvin Noah turned his head. He knew the person sitting next to him. He was a representative of Luvada Materials Company, which was also from Europe. The two of them had some dealings with each other.
Nodding, Kelvin said hello: "Of course, although Professor Xu rarely touches the material world, every problem he solves is a world-class problem."
Hearing this, Saroyan Patrick, the representative of Luvata Materials Company, smiled and said: "But the field of materials is not mathematics. 152K room temperature superconductivity, if you only look at this value, it is indeed amazing. But in the laboratory
It may be difficult to turn the results into commercial applications."
After a pause, he added: "And I heard that this time he is not studying copper oxide-based superconducting materials, but another brand-new superconducting system. Without industrialization experience, it may be more difficult to change."
To be honest, the temperature superconductivity of 152K is nothing. In the laboratory, there are materials that can achieve higher temperatures, even superconducting at room temperature.
However, achieving superconductivity at this temperature under normal pressure has a completely different meaning.
Of course, for these world's top superconducting material suppliers, laboratory products and industrial products are two completely different concepts.
It is undeniable that the 152K normal pressure superconductor is indeed excellent, but there are not many products that are not much different from it in the laboratory.
For example, Bi series (92K), Y series (125K), Hg series (135K), etc., can all break through the temperature barrier of liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K).
But so far, I have not heard of any laboratory that can commercially produce high-temperature superconducting materials in large quantities.
So far, most of the applications of superconducting materials in the industry are still low-temperature superconducting materials.
When they make commercial superconducting magnets, they still use a series of low-temperature superconducting materials such as niobium-titanium alloys.
Of course, there are also very few copper oxide-based high-temperature superconducting materials produced, but the output is very low. In other words, the International Superconducting Industry Technology Research Center (ISTEC) in Sakura Country can produce more Bi series high-temperature superconducting materials.
I heard that they have signed a contract with the European Atomic Energy Research Center in Geneva and will provide some BI high-temperature superconducting materials in batches in the second half of 20 for use in transforming the Large Strong Particle Collider LHC.
So although the parameter of 152K normal pressure superconductivity is indeed amazing, it does not mean much to them if it cannot be commercially produced.
At most it provides some research value.
Kelvin leaned back in his chair and said with a faint smile: "If that's the case, why did you come here?"
Hearing this, Saroyan Patrick shrugged and said: "It's just the company's arrangement."
Kelvin didn't speak anymore, but silently raised his head and looked at the podium.
If it were just a product from a laboratory, that would be fine.
What he is worried about is that this time the superconducting material may be industrially produced in a short time like the last artificial SEI film.
With Professor Xu's ability and character, this is not impossible.
What's more important is that not only did he not publish a paper this time, he didn't even apply for a patent.
This is what worries him and some superconducting manufacturers.
From this point of view, it is very likely that Professor Xu will choose to keep secret the production of some materials and then sell them.
If this is the case, it is really not good news for superconducting material manufacturers like them.
As for Luvata Materials, if they are as stupid as his representatives, they deserve to go out of business.
